Going back to last night, after Lu Xihe finished his ability fusion,
“Half an hour and I’ve fused my abilities, am I totally awesome or what!” Lu Xihe proudly planted his hands on his hips, chin held high, waiting for Cheng Yuchuan to praise him.
“Yes, you’re the fastest I’ve ever seen at fusing abilities. Even my first fusion took a whole day.” Cheng Yuchuan clapped in admiration.
“HAHAHAHAHA no need to feel inferior, Little Chuan, not everyone can be like me, after all, I’m a genius!” Lu Xihe patted Cheng Yuchuan’s shoulder to console him, so puffed up he might as well have been floating.
“Mhm.” Cheng Yuchuan couldn’t help but smile.
Lu Xihe laughed heartily for a while, then leaned down, eyes sparkling as he looked at Cheng Yuchuan: “So can I go out and look at the moon now?”
“No.” Cheng Yuchuan rejected him without a second thought.
Lu Xihe instantly puffed up with indignation. He protested: “I’m a real Level 5 ability big shot now.”
Cheng Yuchuan remained silent.
“A Level 5 dual-type ability big shot, natural type and spatial type!” Lu Xihe emphasized deliberately.
“No. You must sleep at night.” Without another word, Cheng Yuchuan pressed the blanket down over him and used his barrier ability to trap Lu Xihe firmly in bed.
There was another rule to ability fusion: the more sub-abilities fused into a system, the more bonus energy the system gained, and the stronger the ability became.
Cheng Yuchuan had at least thirteen sub-abilities fused into each of his systems as a baseline, while Lu Xihe had barely scraped by with the minimum of five, the overall gap was enormous.
Lu Xihe tried every trick he could think of but couldn’t get out, so he had no choice but to resign himself to lying down and sleeping, though a blazing ball of anger churned in his stomach.
“Hmph!”
“…”
“Hmph!!”
“Sleep.”
“Hmph! Hmph! Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!”
